Switzerland – USA last chance match

2009 IIHF World Championship ice hockey in Switzerland

Result of the Swiss Hockey Team's last chance match

Any result other than a win in normal time for the Swiss would be synonymous with elimination! HOP SWITZERLAND... we'll need an iron defence and a sharp attack, just like in our last match against Sweden.

20:15 Bern Arena

Wick (overtime goal) scored a few seconds too late, too bad!

United States-Swiss 3:4 extension (Switzerland needed 3 points, but only managed 2)

Goals: 10’Ambuehl 0-1, 26’Hainsey 1-1, 32’Lemm 1-2, 36’Higgins 2-2, 40’Hainsey 3-2, 50’M.Pluess 3-3, 61’Wick 4-3.

Switzerland gave their all in this match but are out of the World Cup. It's a shame... Switzerland played very well tonight but lost their tournament against Latvia and also with the non-culpable match against Sweden.
